UMW Women's Swimming Gains 22nd Consecutive CAC Championship

Feb 19, 2012

The University of Mary Washington women's swimming team remained
as the only team in any Capital Athletic Conference sport to win
every single conference title, claiming the program's 22nd straight
crown on Sunday in St. Mary's City, Md.

On Sunday, the Eagles gained wins from senior Kelly
Scott in the 200 yard backstroke at 2:09.69 and senior
Megan DeSmit in the 200 yard breastroke at 2:20.61, with
Amber Kerico taking second at 2:20.84 - both of which
are NCAA provisional qualifying times, and both broke the old
conference and meet records.

Kerico was named the CAC Rookie of the Year by the conference
coaches, and she and DeSmit will await potential invitation to the
NCAA Tournament next month.
